Medalist 5 Feature / Text: James R Clark, Department Biokinetics, Sport & Leisure Sciences Institute for Sport Research, University of Pretoria hy do South African athletes seem to disappoint so frequently at international competitions? was the question I was Wasked. Of course, I had heard this one before - colleagues and I frequently debate the issue over a few cold ones or, more likely, following yet another suitably forgettable performance of a South African outfit on the world stage. The question comes more than a year after the still painful results of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games which haunt the South African sporting fraternity sufficiently to encourage some frenzied activity at various levels in an attempt to avoid a repeat of that performance. As the sport scientist to a national federation with Olympic ambitions, the issue is an important one to me, with real-world implications for the preparation and performance of my athletes. The frequent labelling of South African athletes as ‘chokers’ sprung to mind as soon as the topic was presented to me. Sports-nutty South African supporters seem to harbour a perverse love of crucifying our national representatives when they fail to deliver all but the highest honours on the international stage. But is this ‘choking’ label warranted? Do South Africans have a problem with international or overseas competition? To my dismay the answer was a resounding “yes!” from the vast majority of those I cornered on the issue. Granted, my convenience sample of twenty or so friends and colleagues limits this as a scientific exercise, but I’ll put my head on a block and venture that this reflects the general consensus amongst the South African public. While several notable international successes in swimming, athletics, golf, rugby and cricket are by no means forgotten, most people I interrogated believed that when our athletes reach the international stage, the performances witnessed are not congruent with the perceived athlete capability or public 6 Medalist / Feature expectation. What about the numbers? As a scientist, I want proof. Since the Beijing debacle clearly added significant weight to this public perception, the Olympic Games seemed like a good place to search for any truth in this perception. The Olympic Games remains the ultimate international stage for athletes in 28 sports (at the 2008 Beijing Games) and winning an Olympic medal remains the pinnacle of performance in these codes. The Games also allow comparisons between nations’ performances - most readers should be familiar with the so-called medals-per-capita comparisons which describe the number of medals a nation wins compared to the population of that country. These have been used in describing sporting prowess, spending and chances of success in various countries. I’ve used an alternative comparison here – how many medals have been won (success) compared to the number of competitors (participation) sent to the Games. Specifically, I looked at the results since South Africa’s resumption of Olympic competition in Barcelona in 1992, spanning five Games, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. The results are shown in the accompanying table. Number of competitors and medals of selected countries at the Summer Olympic Games from Barcelona 1992 to Beijing 2008 NATION COMPETITORS MEDALS RATIO ETH 151 28 5.4 CHN 1855 326 5.7 USA 3095 512 6.0 JAM 231 33 7.0 AUS 2259 221 10.2 GBR 1595 140 11.4 BRA 1152 55 20.9 RSA 566 19 29.8 This comparison yields a ‘success ratio’. For example, one in seven athletes Jamaica sends to the Games are likely to win a medal. The table is not extensive; instead I’ve included the traditional ‘big-guns’ like USA, Great Britain and Australia, and also socioeconomic contemporaries of South Africa like Jamaica, Brazil and Ethiopia. The result should not come as any surprise to the South African public – we need almost thirty athletes to ensure a single Olympic medal, one of the worst performers at the Games in this regard. Sure, this exercise is limited: ignoring our (somewhat successful) professional and non-Olympic sporting codes is one; using a single four-yearly event is another; unique factors related to South African team selection is a third; but as the world’s sporting showpiece these are arguably the same factors which support such a comparison in assessing whether athletes deemed ‘good enough’ for international competition go on to international success. And I’d venture Medalist 7 Feature / a guess that even if one tracked the more ‘fair’ particularly in golf, athletics, rugby and cricket ratio of personal best performances to number of attests to the fact that South African athletes are competitors at the Games, South African athletes not physically less capable or talented than their would still not be among the stand-out nations. international opponents. While certain human population may be better suited to particular So it does appear there is a problem.

  • Sport, Politics and Black Athletics in South Africa During the Apartheid Era Sociology Provides an Additional Dynamic Sub-Theme with Strong Contemporary Relevance
    Pieter Labuschagne Professor and Head of SPORT, POLITICS AND BLACK Department, Department ATHLETICS IN SOUTH AFRICA of Political Sciences, University of South Africa. DURING THE APARTHEID ERA: [email protected] A POLITICAL-SOCIOLOGICAL DOI: https://dx.doi.org/ PERSPECTIVE 10.18820/24150509/ JCH41.v2.5 Abstract ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) The article examines the relationship between sport and politics in Journal for South Africa from a political-sociological perspective, with a specific Contemporary History focus on the status of black athletics in apartheid South Africa. The 2016 41(2):82-104 narrower focus aims to outline how white civil society and the National © UV/UFS Party government utilised athletics as a mechanism to enforce the policy of separateness/apartheid in the South African society. In the process, white dominated political structures and centralised political processes were used to dominate and regulate black athletics in South Africa (1894-1976). The structures and dynamics of black athletics were, for more than a century, manipulated and dictated for political and related reasons. The manipulation took place in three broad identifiable periods, namely: 1884-1960 – the period of “informal” segregation, when the national body, provinces and clubs used race as a mechanism to enforce cleavages in society. The second period stretches from 1960- 1976, when the National Party adopted a more assertive direct role to enforce their sports policy. The last period, between 1976 and 1992, signified another direction change, when government stepped back and only set the broader framework for the regulation of athletics in South Africa. In each of the periods, the politics-sport power relationship will be explained in relation to the regulation of black athletics in the country.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.
